Introduction
CoreView™ is an advanced and cost-effective solution that enables cloud administrators, IT
managers, CIOs, and purchase managers to obtain unique and valuable information about all
aspects of Office 365™. With CoreView’s delegation feature, you can assign operators to work
with specific groups of users. It also allows you to tailor which management actions are available
to our operators. Moreover, CoreView helps you to identify underused Office 365 features, and
encourage your users to adopt them. Our aim is to help you drive the adoption of Office 365
in your organization while maximizing your ROI.
CoreView includes features that will enable you to:
• Easily manage and access all your Office 365 subscriptions through a single channel
• Stay up to date on your users’ acclimation to Office 365
• Optimize the license assignment by forming tailored plans for each user
• Immediately identify unused licenses (on average, 10% of assigned licenses go unused) to
maximize savings on your subscriptions
• Improve security by monitoring the activities of operators who manage groups of users
without having administrative rights in Office 365, and limiting the content (users, email,
etc.) available to them
• Use our User Card to offer first-class internal support service
• Perform administrative tasks without using traditional PowerShell (less senior admins are
easily able to perform operations against the subscription)

Setup wizard steps:
Step 1. Admin Credentials
Please insert the global Admin credentials to create our Service User accounts. These credentials
will not be stored on our application as they are only used once. If you wish, you can even create
a temporary Global Admin account and then delete it after the first data import is completed.
Note: Admin accounts with MFA enabled cannot be used. If you have created a test tenant for trial
registration, please wait until the Global Admin account is synchronized on the Office 365 portal
and confirm that there is at least one E1 license assigned to the user on the Office 365 portal.
I want to be managed by my partner: choose this option if you would like a Partner to monitor
and manage your tenant data.
Note: the O365 Admin username and password are never saved into CoreView systems. They are
used to activate the management function for registered operators and enable the creation of service
accounts in your tenant.
Click ‘proceed’ to go to the next step.
Step 2. Credentials Verifications
During this next step, the application will verify the Global Admin account information provided
and then begin the registration process.
Step 3. Service Accounts Creation
During this step, we will create our service accounts that are needed to start the data import
process. This step, as well as data import, could take some time based on your tenant dimensions.
Import data & Enjoy
Once the third step finishes, the import of your Office 365 data will be started. This process may
take several hours depending on the amount of information. You will receive a confirmation email
as soon as everything is ready and you can begin to use the CoreView platform.
You will receive also other engagement emails helping you unleashing full potential of CoreView
portal.

* Functions available only to the operators with Tenant admin role.
Find more details regarding these functions in the paragraph 3 Delegation.
Delegation
CoreView introduces administrator delegation. In the Office 365™ Portal, only global
administrators can execute common tasks like managing operators, licenses or groups. Global
operators can also administer and view all services and licenses. Thanks to the innovative
CoreView delegation function, you decide what your operators can do and see.
Also, with its comprehensive overview of the Office 365™ environment and multi-tenant
functionality, CoreView lets you manage your customers’ accounts through a single portal
conveniently and with maximal security.
If you are the tenant admin, you can click on click the arrow near the profile icon to access the
following functions:
My Organization
• Organization Info: allows you to review basic information about your organization. Here,
you can update the logo graphic image used to represent your organization within
CoreView.
• Settings allow you to:
- change the character used as the CSV Delimiter for any text files imported into
CoreView and skip Active Mail User (in a consumption dashboard if yes ->
won’t be considered). Moreover, you can decide whether the operators can see
only their own tasks.
- enable License pool V-tenants: this option allows you to enable your license
pools to be also V-tenants, so the operator who belong to specific license pool
will be able to see and manage only users from the assigned license pool.
- check mail settings (only for partners)
- check if the graph API is enabled or not
- change management type
- check if the SharePoint management is enabled. This option allows to see the
data in OneDrive owners report as well as perform OneDrive actions
- check Office 365 Monitoring Info if this feature is enabled
- Notify or not by email once a new operator will be added
• Portal Information: allows you to review details about your CoreView subscription. You can
verify your Subscription level, Expiration Date, and the Last Import Date of your tenant
details.

• Admins Read-Only: allows you to view any administrator accounts limited to a Read-Only
mode.
You can also re-create Read-Only Admin accounts here. For more information, see our KB
article: https://support.CoreView.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/12/0/how-
to-create-admins-readonly
Organization Settings
This function is available only for multi-tenant environment. You can find the same information
sections as you find under ‘My Organization’ but for the chosen managed tenant.
Manage Operators
CoreView enables you to view information on the chosen operators and their roles. You can also
add new operators and modify current operator accounts by changing their passwords, personal
information, roles and add or remove them from V-tenants, Permissions groups and/or License
Pools as well as delete the selected operator(s) and export the list of Operators in excel.
You can add a new operator by clicking ‘Add new Operator’. You will be asked to fill in the new
operator’s personal information, such as User principal name, First Name, last Name, and email
address. Operators can be selected from the tenant’s user list. Simply start to type the user
principal name and choose the correct one from the suggestion list provided:

35 CoreView User Manual | Lilia Stoyan | 2018/11/29 – Version 7.1.3
If you choose the operator from the tenant users list, the personal information fields will be
populated automatically. Then you only need to specify the operator roles. The following roles
are available:
TenantAdmin – Administrator of the tenant. TenantAdmins can manage groups,
permissions, license pools and other operators. Moreover, they can see all the License Pools
available and all the tenant data. It is impossible to limit the data view or management
actions that can executed by a TenantAdmin.
Management – You can activate or deactivate operator’s management role using the
‘Management’ checkbox available through this function.
Global Stats – this role allows the operator to view aggregation reports and data used in
reports that cannot be filtered, for example aggregation, Yammer, OneDrive, License
History, Deleted Users reports.
GlobalLicense – the operators with this role can manage all the license pools and view all
license pool reports.
Audit - the operators with this role can see the audit reports (Audit activities, Message
Trace) and manage alerts in the portal.
If you do not choose any of any of these roles, the new operator will only be able to access
reports and use the following features: save, export, schedule, save to favorites.
Note: If you check ‘Use Organization Account’ the Single sign-on will be applied during login.
Otherwise, you must insert the password to be used by CoreView operator.
Also, here you can limit specific operator to see only to the functions of specific SKU among:
• SKU:SEC – audit tab will be visible
• SKU:LM – license management – some user management actions
• SKU:CM – change management – drive tab
• SKU:ADM – administration – manage tab

36 CoreView User Manual | Lilia Stoyan | 2018/11/29 – Version 7.1.3
• SKU:MON – monitoring tab
Then, it’s possible to add a new operator to different V-tenants to limit the information the new
operator can see, permissions groups to limit the management actions the new operator can
perform and License Pools to be managed. You can find more information about creating V-
tenants, permissions groups and License Pools below.
Inherent group roles These roles refer to the roles chosen during adding operator using
‘Add new Group of Operators’.
So, another way to add new operator is using ‘Add New Group of Operators’. In this way you
can select a security group and assign the roles to the whole group of operators.
The security group members will become portal operators and will inherit the roles granted to
Security group. You can also assign additional operator roles by modifying the specific operator
profile.
The security group roles can be checked in the Roles column, while you can see which Security
Group an operator makes part of in the Security Group column.
Notes:* The use of security groups is not dynamic, so if you add or delete the operator to a security
group, this change won’t be reflected on CoreView portal.
*The group roles can’t be modified by now, but we already have it in our Product Backlog.
Manage V-Tenants
Create virtual-tenants (V-tenants) per user’s account properties (country, department, etc.),
domain or tenant, to limit business administrators to see only the objects they have responsibility
for, and only perform the actions and view the reports which they are authorized.
So, V-Tenant consists of a team of operators and a set of specific filters.
Operators inside the V-tenant will see all report data filtered by the rules applied.

Groups filters: deletes or adds groups from a list of available groups.
5. Add domain and/or delegation filters to distribution groups to limit what data they can view.
6. In a multi-tenant environment, you can use a domain filter to determine which tenants a
group can view.
7. Click ‘Save’ to save the group.
Note: if you add a delegation filter and then add Groups filter than the rules will be applied in mutual
inclusive way.
Manage License Pools
CoreView enables organizations to partition their Office 365 tenant into smaller, more
manageable, sub-tenants, segmented by specific parameter(s) using the ‘Manage License Pool
function’.
This function enables you to add new license pools, delete existing ones, or configure your license
pools based on principal attribute (pre-defined) and secondary attribute (any parameter) filters or
by
. Together, these double attributes create more specific sub-tenants to help customers segment
their Office 365 environment, control their license distribution, and assign administrators securely
to just that group of users.
This is very helpful as it enables simplified license management and the ability to perform more
accurate license and usage chargeback accounting by business unit, PLUS, geographic location;
or whatever combination of attributes you choose.
1. Manage License Pool
To configure your license pools, choose ‘Manage License pool’ among the administrative
functions, after you click ‘Actions’ – ‘Configure’:

39 CoreView User Manual | Lilia Stoyan | 2018/11/29 – Version 7.1.3
There are two possible modes for license pools configuration:
1. Enforce mode allows to configure license pools based on certain discriminators
So, choose the first (and the second if necessary) discriminator attributes based on which you
would like to configure the license pool.
Moreover, you can add the SKUs and License costs that will be included in each license pool.
To add new SKUs the new license pool configuration is necessary.
THIS IS A WORKING DOCUMENT THAT WILL BE UPDATED AS THE PROJECT PROGRESSES, COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM
PROJECT TEAM SHOULD ONLY BE CIRCULATED AFTER COORDINATION WITH THE PROJECT MANAGER
40 CoreView User Manual | Lilia Stoyan | 2018/11/29 – Version 7.1.3
After choosing the discriminator(s), the system will configure the license pools.
Note: the SKUs that were not chosen to be included in the license pools will be available to your
operators and these licenses can be managed by them in the whole quantity.
2. Assign mode introduces a new way to work with License Pools where the portal does not
enforce them but enables the operator to assign a user in a specific subset. In this way
customers can have the flexibility to define any kind of License Pools and assign end-
users for more granular reporting and license cost tracking.

41 CoreView User Manual | Lilia Stoyan | 2018/11/29 – Version 7.1.3
So, define which Portal Attribute should be used and add allowed values for this attribute.
Then, you can assign the user to specific license pool by using management actions “Assign To
License Pool” or “Change User Properties” by modifying Portal Attribute used during License
Pools configuration under CoreView Properties.
Note: The system takes some time to configure or update the license pools. So please wait some
minutes based on your tenant dimensions before checking the results for each license pool and
the associated license reports.
2. Add new, edit, delete license pool:
To add new license pool or delete existing one select the relative
action under available Actions.
Note: ‘Add new’ action is available only in case you have available filter
to be used for creating a new license pool that is a license pool
discriminator used during initial configuration of your organization
license pools.
To edit the license pool, click the license pool name in the ‘Manage License Pools’ table or
open the License Pool report to update the number of assigned licenses.

You can change the name and description, assign different members from the defined
CoreView operators and the number of SKUs to be managed within. You can also delete the
license pool filter. Only operators who belong to the specific License pool can manage it, while
operators with the tenant admin role can see and manage all license pools. The new operator
role called ‘GlobalLicenses’ allows you to overcome this limit and to assign the management
of all license pools by an operator who is not a tenant admin.
By deleting the entire license pool, you could free this license pool filter and join it with another
one since it will appear as ‘available’.
For example, after a License Pool configuration we have these 2 license pools that we’d like to
join:
If we delete one of the license pools, we can add this free license pool filter to another license
pool we would like to keep.
Firstly, delete the license pool to be joined.
Then, edit the license pool you’d like to keep by adding the available filter:

To analyze the license data, check the License Pool report.
Manage Permissions
This function allows you to increase security by limiting which reports and management
actions operators can access.
To determine operator permissions, click ‘Add new’ under the ‘Actions’ list, then follow these
steps:
1. General info: fill in general information.
2. Operators: add operators to a group from the table titled ‘Select Operators’.
3. Start page: choose the start page (only one) that the operators of group will see once
accessed the portal
4. Menu: choose which menu items will be available to the operators added in Step 1
5. UserCard: choose which information will be visible to this permission group in the User Card
6. Management actions: choose which Management Actions will be available to operators
added in step 1
7. V-Licenses: choose the options for SKUs and service plans among:
• Sku not visibile, ServicePlan not editable;
• Sku visibile, ServicePlan mandatory if Sku is selected
• Sku and ServicePlan manageable
You can select also License Template to be applied for this permission group. For more
details on License template, consult a paragraph about License Template.
8. Click the Save button to save permissions granted to certain operators.
Manage License Templates
License Template allows CoreView Tenant Administrators to create unique “License Templates”
that can be leveraged to make license assignments easier.
License Templates allow you to:

PROJECT TEAM SHOULD ONLY BE CIRCULATED AFTER COORDINATION WITH THE PROJECT MANAGER
44 CoreView User Manual | Lilia Stoyan | 2018/11/29 – Version 7.1.3
• Enhance your license management by using the template to define what range of
licenses you want to make available to an operator to manage.
• More easily manage bundled licenses by preselecting the actual licenses you want to
include (or exclude) when the template is applied. This is very useful when assigning a
bundled SKU, such as an E3 or E5, where you may not want to include Yammer or Sway
by default.
• Avoid licensing dependency errors by accounting for any license dependencies in the
template. An example of this is where Office Online requires either SharePoint Online
Plan 1 or Plan 2.
To add new License Template, click ‘Add new’ under the ‘Actions’ list and fill in general
information, then define what licenses you want to exclude, include as optional or include as
mandatory.
Once a Template is created, you can then add that template to a Permission for the required
delegation.
Note: This is an initial release of License Templates and is currently limited to only one Template to
Permission.

User card
User cards are assigned to each of your users and allow you to easily access each user’s license
assignments. You can quickly search for user information by searching for the first 3 letters of the
user name or email address that appears on a user card.
The search will provide up to 10 context-sensitive suggestions regarding information about the
user you searched for.
If you use the user card to search for information about a specific online user, you will see a
complete overview of:
• Info - all in one unique view you see info about:
o Active Office 365 Services in the last 30 days

Report Filters
Global, License filters, V-tenant and Permissions filters are available at the top of the application:
Global filters are used to filter report tables with AND and OR conditions based on OnlineUsers
properties. Any operator can apply a global filter by setting parameters for how data appears in
reports.
To add or edit global filters, or to view global filters shared with you, click on GLOBAL
FILTERS and add a new query. Fill in each query with specific values.
To activate a filter, use the dropdown menu and select it. To remove a filter, click the X beside its
name.
Otherwise, global filters are permanent, meaning that they remain even if other alterations are
made to the report page.
License Pool Filters are configured using Manage License Pool. This function is visible only to
the operators configured as members of the license pool, who can use it to apply filters to reports.
Any new filters added will be saved to a list.
License pool filters are applied only to information that the operators who created them are
permitted to see. Operators can apply Column and Report filters in addition to filters described
above.
V-tenants and Permissions filters are very useful for Tenant admin who would like to check which
data, reports and management actions operators can access.

Column Filters are used for filtering tables that appear in reports. Click on the textbox above a
column and the filter that you want to apply. That filter will be applied only to that column.
Report Filters, however, will be applied to the entire table. Report filters are used to filter tables
with AND and OR conditions based on OnlineUsers properties. You can add new report filters by
clicking on FILTERS and adding new queries. Fill in each query with specific values. Then, click
‘apply’ to activate the filter.

Management
Enable Management Function
To enable the Management function, you will be asked to input an Office 365 Global Admin
username and password during signup. The Management function allows you to configure
permissions, manage licenses, share mailboxes, reset passwords, create new users, forward emails
to other mailboxes, create role-based access, remove users, schedule reports, etc.
Once logged into the portal, simply click on the management check box placed next to your
profile icon in upper right-side corner. You will be asked to activate the management setting
using an Office 365 Global Admin username and password:
There are three types of Management capabilities (none, basic and advanced). The last two create
a new Global Admin setting on your Office 365 tenant:
• None: this management type is set by default. To enable management the operator should
be in possess of Office 365 admin credentials. Moreover, Office 365 admin whose
credentials used to enable management session should have all set of permissions
necessary to execute management actions, otherwise these actions will fail. More
information available in the Knowledge base article: “Reasons why a Management action
fails”.
• Basic: this method enables a password with half of the eight characters defined by you.
These are shared amongst your CoreView operators to activate management at a later
time. The second half of the password, and associated username, are defined by CoreView
and stored encrypted within the system. This method achieves two goals:
o Operators do not know the full password; therefore, they cannot use PowerShell
or the Microsoft Portal to perform management actions
o CoreView stores only half of the password which cannot be used alone
• Advanced: using this method the full password is generated by CoreView and stored in
the Azure KeyVault for maximum security available in the cloud. This is the same vault used
to store Credit Card information or other important secrets. The password is changed often
to ensure maximum security. In future releases of CoreView we will enable customers to
use their own Azure KeyVault to maintain total control of the stored secret. When
management is activated by an operator, the password is retrieved from the Azure
KeyVault and all operations are audited by Microsoft Azure directly. This is the preferred
method because it removes the service user accounts and uses temporary user accounts
where needed, or by Management Operators where possible.

You can either select only items visualized on the current page or select all items across all pages.
To select all items, click on hamburger menu available over the select items table and choose
‘Select All’. You can also deselect all or load items using CSV from this menu.
Note: Management action that have ‘cloud’ icon close to their titles can be performed only for on
cloud objects.
Note: To access the Management Wizard, you need either Office 365 Admin credentials or a
management role with the management password provided in case of basic management type or
just management role in case of advanced management type.
Management Actions
The management actions available are:
1. Custom actions
These actions are available only for the organization which acquired SKU:ADM.
Using this action tenant admins are able to write custom PowerShell script covering
any management action on their tenant and distribute those scripts easily to other
operators who will be able to run them within their V-tenant without being a tenant
admin.
To create a new Custom Action, tenant admin needs to click Manage Custom Actions
under the Manage Tab. Click on Create to add a new Custom Action and follow the
steps described below:
▪ add a title and a brief description.
▪ select Custom Action target from the drop-down list:

• None: using this target TenantAdmins have the flexibility to create
any PowerShell script, unbounded by the need to select a specific
Target.
Once you chosen a target, you can add columns to the table and filter them
by clicking on the textbox above columns and choosing the filter that you
want to apply.
Note: Operators will perform the custom action won't be able to change these
filters set by tenant admin during custom action configuration.
▪ set the Parameters coming from the previous table. They can easily be
added or deleted by clicking the icons next to the names. The parameters
will be automatically embedded in the PowerShell script.
Otherwise, you can create additional Variables choosing different types
(String, list, Boolean etc..), name and value. You can then decide whether it
is a required field or not.
▪ add your PowerShell script. Once it’s added, the parameters and variables
will be automatically embedded in your script.

After that, you can save it as a Draft and run a preview of the action. The preview
option is available only for the Admin who generates the Custom Action.
Once you're ready to submit the Custom Action, hit Submit under the Actions
button.
The action will be submitted for a review.
Our technical team will review the script only from a performance point of view.
Note: The script content/logic will be not reviewed. It's up to you have a look for
security purposes.
Once the action has been approved, you can publish it, and it’ll become available
in the management wizard under custom actions category.
You will be able to manage it in the same way as any other Management Action
by using Virtual Tenants and/or Manage Permissions.
Note: The connections currently supported are Exchange Online, Skype For Business,
MsolUser and Azure AD. Others will be implemented in the future.

Audit
You can activate this feature after you accept Microsoft API sharing when you activate your
subscription.
Audit Reports provide you with collected audit information on activities performed by users on
SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive and Active Directory. This gives total control to tenant admins,
within boundaries defined by CoreView’s unique delegation feature.
You can view this data in real time. As Microsoft tracks activities and makes data on them available,
CoreView receives the data and tracks activities internally.
All CoreView audit reports are enriched by Audit Analyzer, a powerful analysis tool that allows you
to review audit logs in context. The Audit Analyzer uses a “faceted search” which is designed to
eliminate analytical dead ends. This faceted search to all existing Audit reports, with a set of
predefined categories for each workload. This unleashes the real power of Audit data, enabling an
extremely fast search of data in many business scenarios.
Office 365 Reports
• Audit Activities
You can select or deselect the service activity information on the graphs included in audit reports.
Click the service name in the legend to remove it from the graph or click on the data in the graph
to track information over a minimum time interval of 2 seconds (default 30 minutes). The details
will also be updated in the table below the graph. You can apply filters to the columns in the table
or user Audit Analyzer on the left side of table to drill down into the results for additional
investigation. The audit analyzer shows the Top 5 Aggregations on the left pane, and you can add
more aggregation in Audit reports.
These are different and separate from the Office 365 Activity Reports.
Exchange Reports
• Message Trace: Each operator can track message details in real-time within CoreView
within assigned V-Tenant boundaries.
• Exchange Audit Events contains information on the access and actions performed on a
mailbox by different users.
• Admin Mailbox Activities shows all actions performed by Admins on mailboxes.
• Non-Owner Mailbox Activities shows all the actions performed on a mailbox by a non-
owner. The report contains information about who accessed the mailbox, the actions they
performed, and whether or not the actions were successful.
• DLP Activities shows all Data Loss Prevention (DLP) related entries.

Alerts Reports
CoreView enables the configuration of automated alerts for any event activity reported in Office
365 log files. The simplified wizard UI to configure these alerts makes it easy for IT administrators
to choose the available log categories and associated events from available picklists and activities
to identify the exact security risks they want to monitor. The wizard UI walks the administrator
through a six-step process to identify the log event and select the recipients to alert. These alert
notifications are generated from the audit activities performed by CoreView on an almost real-
time basis. When a preconfigured security watchdog setting matches a known compliance breach,
an alert message is sent via e-mail to a specified distribution list. Administrators can then take
immediate action to rectify the situation and close the security concern.
To create, edit or delete Event Alert go to Audit – Alerts Reports – Manage Alerts.

Azure AD Reports
• Audit Report provides the audit record for the event name, the actor who performed the
action, the date and time (in UTC) when it was performed, the target resource affected by
the change as well as actor, target and role details.
• Sign-ins Events report gives a full detail on all sign-ins activities performed within your
tenant. You can easily check failed logins, locked account, accounts target by hackers’
attack and also who is using what within your tenant in extreme detail.
• Sign-ins External report allows easily to visualize who performed the external access,
when it happened, what content the external user has access to and from what geographic
location. This report was enhanced with geo representation for location mapping searches,
along with pivot point analysis from directly inside the report.
• Sign-ins failed report shows failed sign ins and the reasons for all users in a chosen period.
• Monthly Sign-ins by user report shows the number of total sessions for the current
month per user.
• Monthly Sign-ins stats by app report provides information about the usage of managed
applications and user sign-in activities.
• Sign-ins from anonymous IP addresses report indicates users who have successfully
signed in from an IP address that has been identified as an anonymous proxy IP address.
These proxies are used by people who want to hide their device’s IP address, and may be
used for malicious intent.
• Users with leaked credentials When the service acquires username / password pairs, they
are checked against Azure AD users’ current valid credentials. When a match is found, it
means that a user’s password has been compromised, and a leaked credentials risk event
is created.
• Sign-ins from Infected Devices identifies sign-ins from devices infected with malware.
This is determined by correlating IP addresses of the user’s device against IP addresses
that were in contact with a bot server.
• Sign-ins from IP addresses with suspicious activity report shows sign-ins from IP
addresses where suspicious activity has been detected. Suspicious activity in this case is
defined to be an unusually high ratio of failed sign-ins to successful sign-ins, which may
indicate that an IP address is being used for malicious purposes.
• Sign-ins from unfamiliar locations report considers past sign-in locations to determine
new / unfamiliar locations. The system stores information about previous locations used
by a user and considers these “familiar” locations. The risk event is triggered when the
sign-in occurs from a location that’s not already in the list of familiar locations.

CSP
This feature is currently under development and is intended to help Cloud Solution
Providers manage their distributors (Tier 1), resellers (Tier 2), final customers, and related
invoices. You can manage all of the above using a simple interface.
Distributors
Distributors are organizations directly connected with Microsoft through Partner Center.
Tier 1 distributors are created by a top-level organization, (a Tier 0 organization) manually
configured by Administrators. The first time a distributor (Tier 1) opens the CoreView
Portal, they will be asked to proceed with CSP API integration that allows organization
customers and related information to be imported into the Portal.
Once integration is complete, the list of customers imported, as well as other related
information, will appear under the ‘Available’ tab of the menu ‘Customers’.

Partners
Resellers (Tier 2 organizations) must be added directly by distributors (Tier 1) by filling in
the form below:
Once a new reseller is added, they will receive an invitation to use the CoreView portal.
Resellers can see the list of available customers and all related information imported from
Partner Center. They can send invitation links so customers can be tracked under the ‘In
progress’ tab. Once a customer accepts an invitation, they will appear under the
‘Registered’ tab.
Customers
Customers are imported directly from Microsoft Partner Center. When they accept an
invitation, their Office365 data will be imported. This way, they can start using the
CoreView Portal as soon as they have been invited by a Tier 1 or Tier 2 organization.
If a customer does not receive an invitation link, it can be resent by using the ‘Copy link to
clipboard’ or ‘Re-send activation link’ functions.
